They are in for a people watching experience unparalleled by any other keeping it real at Wallmart experience . This is the largest Wallmart in the state of Alabama and its mere blocks from my house . Its so big there are different dialects of redneck spoken according to what part of the store you are in .

We are going to have to figure out a way to get you down here for a visit . I will take you to your favorite barbeque joint and all the steak and ribs you can eat .

That sounds good. Maybe next spring. I don't want to go in the summer when it's a heatbox. Being that I lived there during that season, I remember how steamy it gets. Would love to meet you in person, though, and visit that bbq place.

Sure wish I was going with you all to Wal-Mart. I could teach Jan a few things about how ladies act in the store.

Have yall seen all the crap food Missp has been posting on FB...I cant identify any of it, although I thought I saw some fins sticking up on one of the plates. French food is so LOL. Do they not have Chicken Fried Steak and cream gravy over there?

This forum seriously needs to have a "THUMBS DOWN" option. May The Lord Jeebus bless your crummy little heart.

I spent ten days in France a few years ago - back when I was a lacto-vegetarian (ie dairy products, but no eggs or meat of any sort). If it weren't for cheese, my partner (also lacto-vegetarian) and I would not have had any protein the entire time.

Every time we asked for a vegetarian option at a restaurant, we'd be offered brie on a baguette - after much tut-tutting and grimacing from the wait-staff. The French seem to think vegetarians are aliens from another planet or something.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Sorry, but it was our truth - it was our experience. Vegetarian options were few and far between. Please understand that we did not go to Paris or any other big cities, we were mainly out in the countryside (in the Loire Valley), staying at small B&Bs and sight-seeing in small towns.

It was also nearly twelve years ago (we were there when 9/11 happened) and maybe things have changed a bit since then.

Give me a break, it's hard for a 65 year old chubby to Prance, I've never been light on my feet, but I'm sensing this could turn into one of those "I'll do it if you do it"...it could be the stratosphere all over again, only on the ground..

Come to think about it, I don't believe I've ever Pranced in my life before.

I had three delicious airplane meals on Lufthansa today -- breakfast, lunch and then kind of a small second pre-landing lunch. Oh, and five glasses of red wine because they don't charge you at all even in economy.
